I have two Win 98 machines, each with an identical Realtek PCI card installed. Identical drivers, registry etc but one won't bind the TCP/IP to the card, the other will. net effect is they won't talk to each other.

any suggestions gratefully received!

Try disconnecting the card, then reconnect & reinstall the driver. Worked for me

 

swap cards in each machines?? then do the re install bit

 

Ping 127.0.0.1 which will tell you if the IP layer is stuffed or not

 

thanks - have swapped and reinstalled the cards, no joy. will ping tonight and check the IP settings (again)

could it be because one's an older motherboard (a 4 year old Dell with a Pentium II on it)
